ReLaunch of JobThread.com - NYC

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Launching a startup is hard enough. Launching a startup in the ultracompetitive online job search industry is madness. Eric Yoon and Jason Wies rose to the challenge almost two years ago when they launched JobThread. The initial version was a learning experience, and now the pair has relaunched the site with new […]

Nerds Need To Get On A Plane

Friday, April 27th, 2007

Howard Lindzon, founder of the excellent stock-meets-pop-culture web show WallStrip, recently responded to Charlie O’Donnell’s top ten reasons web 2.0 sucks with his own post claiming that Web2.0 doesn’t suck - just Silicon Valley.
That means you read it once a day to stay up to date on what the nerds are saying - maybe 10 […]

Need Help With A Startup? Partnerup.com Wants To Connect You

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

In the past four years, I’ve been early on three ideas. All three times I was ahead of the curve, with a solid idea that I floated to investors, potential partners, and anyone who would listen. All three times I failed, and watched someone else come along within a year and do the […]

Working Less is Giving Me More

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

Most of us in startups think the more we work… the faster the company will grow. While effort can be directly linked with success, Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Workweek suggests limiting your inputs, outsourcing your tasks and working less hours can actually grow your business!
Amid the Twitter explosion at SXSW, I had […]

Starting a Business in College - Part 3 (final part)

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

In part 1 of the starting a business in college series, I discussed taking initiative. Part 2 was about creating your company - building a team, advisors, and resources.
This final part will give pointers on launching and what advantages you have as a college student that you may not realize. Assuming you are able to […]

BigContacts.com - Atlanta, GA

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

According to Tracy Byrd, it’s “4 to 1 in Atlanta.” Four girls for every guy. So if you are a Valley programmer looking for a better scene, why not give Atlanta a try? If you do, you’ll need some way to keep track of all the girls you meet, and that’s where […]

Starting a business in college - Part 2

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

Last week I wrote part 1 of leveraging college resources for your startup. The theme of that post was learning to take initiative at your school. Professors and administrators don’t comb the student rosters to seek out entrepreneurs - you have to be proactive and aggressive in finding the entrepreneurial environment at your college.
The theme […]

Web 2.0 Innovation Map

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

It’s great to see Web 2.0 companies outside SF getting attention, even from the big guys. This map, which is a google map mashup of Web 2.0 company locations, is worth checking out.

Built To Flip

Friday, April 20th, 2007

Valleywag posted the following quote by Michael Sikorsky, chief excecutive of Canada’s Cambrian House.  “We really are built to flip.  I’m the only guy who says that out loud.  I don’t know why everyone lies.”
Apparently, this was said about the prevailing attitude of the Web 2.0 expo to the San Fransisco Chronicle.
Stepping back from the […]

Cumulative Advantage and OtV

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

Just read a very interesting and thought provoking article from the NYTimes — Is Justin Timberlake a Product of Cumulative Advantage? by Duncan Watts. It reminds me of the perception altering experience of reading Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping Point.
Techmeme points to Mathew Ingram’s great synopsis. Apparently the article has already received a lot […]
